So the premise of "sneaking" in veggies is doing it so that you can't tell that they are in your food. The best way to do that is to puree them in a blender or food processor. Also buying baby food is a great and easy way! Here is today's tip:
When buying your baby food puree, buy the Organic version. Other types have preservatives in them. The organic has only the veggie and water. Also (thanks DeeDee for looking) Gerber has all natural no preservatives!
Here are the kinds I buy:
Sweet Potato
Carrots
Squash
Tonight's Recipe:
Meatloaf
1.5 Lbs ground beef or turkey
1 package onion soup mix
Garlic, oregano and thyme to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup pureed spinach/broccoli
1/4 squash
The kids never suspected a thing!
Side note: I found that the ketchup bottle wasn't full so i opened it and put in pureed (baby food) carrots and sweet potatoes! That way it is already done and from now on there will be veggies in it!
My next post i will put in information on the veggies and why these certain ones are so good to eat!
Enjoy being Sneaky!!!!!

Ok, I'll be the first to post my own attempt at being sneaky. I usually make your basic chicken and rice recipe with brown rice, chicken, cream of mushroom soup and an onion soup packet with water added. Tonight however, I used an italian dressing packet and added a container of carrots and sweet potatoes! It was obviously yellow/orange so I just put some cheddar cheese on top so it looked like the cheese was the reason for the color! Both McKenna and AnnaB ate it and they are my picky ones! Steve said he thought it was good too and of course Sara Kate and I enjoyed our serving! Yay for baby food! =0)
